SPEAKER...
Chenoweth has a well-established reputation as a dynamic
speaker, and a down-to-earth style that never fails
to engage and motivate audiences. He incorporates personal
anecdotes, and has the natural ability to make complicated
subjects easily understandable and relevant to the interests
of each individual audience. (View
Dan’s presentation on “Business Ethics”)
(See Speaker Testimonials.)
“Most asked for” topics include:
Making Ethics Count
Post-Enron, everyone would agree that
corporate ethics play a significant role in an organization’s
success. But how do ethics influence an organization’s
culture and bottom line results? What is everyone’s
ethical responsibility in an organization? What are
the attributes of effective and ethical leaders? How
do they integrate values with profits? This presentation
answers these and many other questions.
Customer Service:
The Ultimate Competitive Advantage
Customer service can mean the difference
between success and failure. As more products and
services become commodities, the way they are delivered
is as important as what is delivered.. The key to
success is maintaining the perceptions you want your
customers to have. This presentation shows you how.
Strategic Positioning:
Finding and Defending Your Marketplace Niche
Most business owners have a fairly clear
idea of why they started their own business and why
it's better than the competition. However, few clearly
articulate or communicate their strategic niche, nor
do they revisit that niche down the road to determine
if it still makes sense in an ever-changing environment.
This presentation helps you identify your strategic
niche and determine if it's still relevant.
Ethical Leadership
for Bottom Line Results
This presentation is designed to help
leaders understand the importance of ethics and ethical
values as key attributes in organizational leadership.
It shows them how to evaluate the ethics in their
own organizations and implement practices to further
build ethical values in their businesses.

How
the CFO/Controller Can Lead Strategic Planning
Given their innate organizational and
analytic strengths, CFOs and Controllers can take the
lead in implementing the strategic initiatives that
will make their organizations successful. This presentation
focuses on the changing role of CFOs / Controllers and
provides planning tools necessary to meet the new challenges,
including:
- The four steps a CFO/Controller should take to be
a more valued partner in the entire strategic planning
process.
- The five phases of the leadership model of project
management.
- How to effectively lead change.
Resilience Required: Change Management
Skills for Individuals and Organizations The
volume, momentum and complexity of change today have
no precedent in human history. How can individuals learn
to reduce their personal stress levels, survive and
succeed in a post 9/11, Enron-scandalized world? Regardless
of education, training, previous success or status,
some individuals faced with a crisis, immediately size
up the situation and proactively move toward a solution
while others are immobilized by fear. The key differentiating
factor appears to be something called "resilience."
In this presentation we will discuss certain behaviors
of resilient people that can be learned: the three mega-characteristics
of resilient people and five specific characteristics.
You will have the opportunity to see how you stack up
against the "Resilience Continuum," a self-assessment
instrument that provides the foundation to develop a
personal action plan to enhance your own resilience,
and to become more successful in a world of chaos.
"The Empire Strikes Back":
Project Management and Change Management When
given a major task, assignment or project in an organizational
setting, most people are good at the "left brained"
project management side: establishing a project budget,
determining resource requirements, developing the project
time line, and so forth. But what many people fail to
understand is that success - i.e., producing long-term,
sustainable results - requires managing
the intangible or "right brained" side of the project
as well. Sustainability means convincing people that
the new way of doing things really does make sense and
will be worthwhile for both the organization's success
and for them personally. This presentation provides
an eight-step process on how to affect major organizational
change and accomplish sustainable results.
